MILWAUKEE (AP) — Twenty people were injured in two shootings in downtown Milwaukee near an entertainment district where thousands had been watching the Bucks lose to the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference semifinals, authorities said.
None of the injuries from either shooting after Friday night’s game were believed to be life-threatening.
The first shooting, involving three victims, occurred adjacent to the Deer District — an entertainment area with numerous bars and restaurants where large crowds often assemble to watch major sporting events.
The Milwaukee Fire Department said authorities took two people to a hospital, a 30-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl, and a third person drove to a hospital. Police said a 29-year-old man was in custody.

in the wrong hands will always be my take in incidents such as this.
Three ladies injured. The police at first thought it was not a hate crime, but now they’ve connected the description of the shooter’s vehicle to two other recent events. Shooter still at large. The local reporter covering the story used the phrase “hopefully it was just a random act of violence” and that’s when I started yelling at the TV.
The reporter was just talking from a location shot—it wasn’t a scripted comment, but jeez. Really? That’s the best we can hope for? That the bullet that nearly kills you is just random bad luck?
I suppose the reporter was hoping it wasn't targeting specific people
I feel that these 'reporters' have standing orders to try to normalize hate crimes etc...so as to not upset the delicate sensibilities
of us out here. Only by being able to walk through these crime scenes, which for the most part we don't have access to, will people understand. And that's to understand what guns in the wrong hands do to innocents. Reality bites believe me...
they are everywhere in America 
If you lived here in Philly and listened to the local news, Philly would be the only-ist place in the whole wide wide wide world where shootings are happening and it isn't happening any place else. 
And you have states trying to implement (and some succeeding in implementing) what is basically no-holds barred "carry", yet still no background checks for online and/or "gun show" sales where ghost gun kits flourish.
